Short on time before work so I’ll be somewhat brief:

have you tried journaling? That’s what i do. Just pen and paper or use logseq/obsidian/ whatever note app on your phone. Can’t be deleted like your social accounts or whatever. Helps me collect my thoughts and process stuff.

Shits rough and I’m sorry you’re going through all of that. Hope you find something or somewhere that works for you

Lotterys are usually paid out in annuities where you would get that amount over a period of 10-30 years. However, they also give a lump sum amount which is usually ~half the stated amount and after taxes you could expect to receive 1/3 the stated amount.

Still, it’s generally best to take the lump sum unless you have very bad self control and would blow through the money.
